ORAL CAVITY WASHER USING COMPRESSED AIR
The present invention relates to an oral cavity cleaning device. The oral cavity cleaning device may include an air injection portion that injects high pressure air; a cleaning liquid tank that cleaning liquid is stored therein; an acceleration portion that is connected to the cleaning liquid tank through a first pipe body and is connected to an air injection portion through a second pipe body, and draws out cleaning liquid form the cleaning liquid tank by pressure difference and injects this, if high pressure air is supplied from the air injection portion; a nozzle portion that is connected to the acceleration portion by a pipe body and makes the cleaning liquid injected by high pressure air be injected to a tooth; and a switching portion that controls the air injection portion to reduce, increase injection amount of cleaning liquid, or stop the cleaning liquid.
Apparatus and methods for treating root canals of teeth
Apparatus and methods for endodontic treatment of teeth provide effective cleaning of organic material (such as pulp and diseased tissue) from the root canal system. In an embodiment, a compressor system generates high pressure liquid (e.g., water) that flows through an orifice to produce a high-velocity collimated jet of liquid. The high-velocity jet is directed toward a surface of a tooth, for example, an exposed dentinal surface, and impingement of the jet onto the surface generates an acoustic wave that propagates throughout the tooth. The acoustic wave effectively detaches organic material from dentinal surfaces and tubules. The detached organic material is flushed from the root canal system by the liquid jet and/or by additional irrigation.
DISRUPTING FLUID FLOW IN A FLUID RESERVOIR
An oral care system includes a fluid reservoir, a check intake valve, and a pump configured to cause fluid to be provided from fluid reservoir to an oral insert of the oral care system via the check intake valve. The fluid reservoir includes one or more fluid flow disrupters. The check intake valve is located at an offset from a center of the fluid reservoir.

APPARATUSES FOR EVACUATION OF A ROOT CANAL AND METHODS OF USING SAME
The present invention relates to apparatuses and methods of endodontic treatment. The endodontic treatment system includes an endodontic device for use in endodontic procedures. The endodontic device is coupled to a fluid delivery system and includes an end effector, a first cannula (70), and a second cannula (72). The first cannula (70) and the second cannula (72) are movable relative to one another to an extended position in which the second cannula (72) extends from the first cannula (70). A method for endodontic treatment of a root canal of a tooth includes moving a first cannula (70) and the second cannula (72) relative to one another from a first position to a second position in which the second cannula (72) extends from the first cannula (70) into the root canal and evacuating the irrigant from the root canal with the second cannula (72).
Tooth cleaning device having internal fluid conduit formed therein
A tooth cleaning device having an internal fluid conduit formed therein, and the tooth cleaning device includes: a main body which has a tube provided in the main body and selectively connectable with a drive unit; and a cleaning body which is assembled to one side of the main body, and has the internal fluid conduit formed in the cleaning body and connectable with the tube, in which at least one nozzle is formed to be opened at one end of the internal fluid conduit. Further, when the main body and the cleaning body are assembled, one end of the tube is connected to one end of the internal fluid conduit so as to form a single continuous flow path, and through the single continuous flow path, a cleaning solution may be discharged or a fluid is sucked and then discharged to the outside.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FLUID HANDLING IN A SHOWER OR BATH
Showerhead devices incorporate sensors to control bath fill levels. Showerheads have interchangeable attachments, including bristle attachments. Oral care devices are attachable to standard shower arms. Pump devices allow various lotions and fluids to be used in conjunction with showers. Shower organizing devices provide for ordered storage and access to accessories. Bathtub spouts including sensors and valves to control bathtub filled levels.
ULTRASONIC TIP ASSEMBLY
A tip assembly for use with a dental tool, the tip assembly comprising a housing for attaching to the dental tool, at least one aspiration needle having a passageway extending at least partially through the aspiration needle, a substantial length of the aspiration needle, or at least from one end to the other end of the aspiration needle, the passageway providing a single continuous path to aspirate the irrigant and/or debris from the root canal cavity of the tooth, and at least one irrigation needle having a passageway extending at least partially through the irrigation needle, a substantial length of the irrigation needle, or at least from one end to the other end of the irrigation needle, the passageway provides a continuous flow path for delivering fluid/irrigant from a reservoir in communication with a proximal end of the irrigation needle to the distal end of the irrigation needle and into a root canal/coronal opening of a tooth.
